Excited to share our new paper in Functional Ecology, led by @nicholaswu.bsky.social We found that torpor in eastern bent-wing bats is driven by local climate and phenotypic plasticity, rather than genetics. Read the full study here: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... 📷 A. Lloyd

The first publication of my PhD is out! 🦇 🌡️ ☀️ ❄️ Did you know that bats could be flexible in the way they express torpor across different climates? If you want to know more, go have a look at our new paper: link.springer.com/article/10.1... With @nicholaswu.bsky.social and #BatsLab

Bats get fat to survive hard times. But climate change is threatening their survival strategy
